Acute macular infarctions in pediatric patients with hemoglobin SS disease.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To report two cases of symptomatic posterior pole arterial occlusions in patients with hemoglobin SS disease. Observations: Two teenage patients with hemoglobin SS disease presented with visual distortions, and on dilated fundus examination and testing, they were found to have arterial occlusions involving the posterior pole. The patients were evaluated for stroke with head imaging and received exchange transfusion by hematology. Conclusions and Importance: This case series reports the unusual findings of arterial occlusions in the posterior pole resulting in areas of retinal whitening and ischemia in patients with HbSS. While sickle cell retinopathy is typically considered a peripheral retinal disease, these findings underscore the importance of vigilance when examining patients with sickle cell disease.
